Cop is obviously at fault. But given how many times I’ve seen clueless pedestrians cross busy streets without looking because they have a crosswalk and the legal right-of-way despite the physics, I would bet that Jaahnavi Kandula, 23, living in Seattle no less, had a bad habit of not looking both ways, was probably staring at her phone and is partially responsible for her own death.
You have a point, but 74 in a 25 is really, really fast. You’d have to be looking far down the road to see the car coming. If he didn’t have lights and sirens on, that’s a big problem — I didn’t read if that was the case or not.
And I very much doubt that she was thrown ten stories into the air, as written in the article. That’s frankly impossible.
